In KartRider Dash, players go head-to-head with their friends and random opponents in races across numerous tracks in four different game modes: item, speed, team and single modes.

Being a social game, Nexon has optimized KartRider Dash with features like friend invitations, gifting and weekly leader boards. That said, the developer has also considered the time (and dedication) limited Facebook gaming masses, speeding up the in-game booster gauge and making attack items easier to control.

"KartRider Dash will raise the level of SNGs with its exciting and competitive gameplay," Nexon Korea New Development Department head Seung chan Lee said in a release. "KartRider Dash is a great game franchise and we believe KartRider Dash will provide social gamers a similar look-and-feel that the original delivered."
